Sudan: April 28, 2003

Archives

Amnesty International is calling for human rights monitors to be sent to Darfur, under the auspices of the Sudan peace process. Human rights groups have accused the Sudanese government of arming nomadic Arab groups from Darfur to attack indigenous sedentary agricultural groups in the region, burning homes and looting livestock. However, they stopped short of using the term "religious-based genocide". Thousands of villagers have reportedly fled their villages since 11 April after attacks by government forces and government-organized Arab militias fighting against the Sudan Liberation Army. - Adam Geibel
